Tuberculosis is a current infection during HIV infection. After infectious contact, some patients will develop tuberculosis some will only be infected without symptoms, they have Latent Tuberculosis Infection (LTBI) which can reactivate later.In order to prevent this tuberculosis reactivation, LTBI diagnosis screening is preconised in HIV-infected patients. This diagnosis is made till now by the tuberculin skin test (TST) but this test is not specific of TB. New blood tests (QFTB-G and T-SPOT.TB) specific po MTB infection are now sold but have not been evaluated in immunocompromised HIV-infected patients.

The primary endpoint of this study is the evaluation of the theoretic therapeutic impact of the use of IGRAS for diagnosis of LTBI in HIV-infected patients
